So if the shooter takes a set shot (never leaves the floor) and the shot is blocked cleanly, but the blocker lands on the shooter.... shooting foul or common foul?
Related question: we've all seen a defender run at a 3-pt shooter to harass the shot. The shot is gone when the defender arrives, so he turns around to box out the shooter and either hits him hard or gives him that nice buttsy, knocking the shooter down after the shot. Is it a no-call or a common foul?
